Are we helpers?
Daily Devotional for October 27

Ephesians 5:11 "And having no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."

Ephesians 5:12 "For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret."

Someone that is habitually living in sin - we are to stay away from them. This means we don't eat with them or go out to the ball game with them, but we try to communicate the love of Christ to them. We pray for them and if we can help them, we do so. We do not condemn them, for our Lord did not condemn us. In fact, while we were yet sinners He died for us and loved us.

Sometimes even our own children may be living in darkness. We do not stop loving them, but we pray many prayers of faith for them. We will share that we do not like what they are doing, and we will call it sin if the Bible calls it sin. We will not "pussyfoot" around the sin issue, for we know there is a kingdom behind it. Satan's Independent Nature.

If we see a body member coming out of a barroom drunk, we can see already that person is living in darkness. We are never to go up to that person and call that person names, but be kind enough to drive them home; then go the next day to them and ask them if we can help them. We share the love of Christ with them, hoping that they will see the light and ask Christ to forgive them for the sin.
